Professional Development

Before the start of the school year, incoming freshman and transfer students are required to attend three weeks of intense training in areas such as business etiquette and ethics, records management, computer basics, and office equipment operation. And throughout freshmen year, student workers attend class once weekly in which topics from summer training are reinforced and time is dedicated to their continued professional and personal growth.

Bridge for Success

“Student employees begin working through the program in the ninth grade, learning the basics of business etiquette – showing up on time, dressing appropriately, navigating the premises, and interacting with others while simultaneously sharpening their professional skills.”
